Chapter 446 The Most Beautiful Retrograde, It's Dawn in the NBA, Legend!
Staples, the Lakers and Celtics game was still going on at this time, but at this time, all the spectators, whether they were in the stadium or in front of the TV, were no longer interested in the game on the court.
Because, at this time, the players of the two teams on the field are not playing at all now.
The Lakers attacked, and the Lakers dribbled in 24 seconds and then turnovered.
On the Celtics side, it was also a 24-second luck and then a mistake.
This made the referee of this game, Foster, unable to find any opportunity to operate.
After Foster's intervention, no one other than James wants another black whistle game, whether it is a Lakers player or a Celtics player.
The Celtics' players have had enough of the first six games.
And the Lakers, too.
Therefore, after the madness, Foster was completely desperate at this time, especially after watching the bald Adam Shaw being taken away by David Stern, he knew what kind of situation he was in now.
Now, his situation is that he no longer has any dignity in this world.
As a professional referee, it is the most ironic thing to lose all the dignity of law enforcement.
In the entire history of the NBA, there are many black whistles, but he is the only referee who has truly lost all the dignity of law enforcement.
He is now a shame in the history of the NBA.
In fact, so far in this game, the players of both teams do not want to stand on the field.
But there is no way, the fourth quarter of this game is theoretically still an official game of the NBA.
They can't end.
They know they're putting pressure on the league as a whole, and they know they're pressuring the owners of the good karma league across the NBA.
If they don't play on the pitch, then it means that the game will be voided and there will be a replay, which is definitely something that those owners and Adam Shaw would like to see.
Only if this game continues to play can David Stern be given greater support for the NBA reshuffle.
Therefore, the players of the two teams will show off on the court at this time, that is, they do not attack, that is, they do not physically fight, that is, they do not attack in the end, and they violate the rules for 24 seconds.
Now, everyone is waiting for the final NBA results.
Major decisions in the NBA require the joint decision of the NBA's 30 owners.
The highest authority in the NBA is the Board of Directors, which is made up of representatives appointed by the bosses.
The highest authority that executes the NBA is the Office of the President, which is composed of the President and Vice Presidents, as well as the leaders of the various business units of the NBA.
The NBA Board of Directors and the President and each department are in an employment relationship, and the Board of Directors has the right to make decisions.
Before the NBA Board hired David Stern as NBACEO in 1984, 17 of the league's 23 teams were losing money, and the NBA was already unsustainable, almost on the verge of collapse like other American basketball leagues such as the ABA.
But in the end, David Stern opened the business era of the NBA, and at the same time introduced the salary cap and the luxury tax, and finally completed all the open source and cost reduction, so that the NBA embarked on the track of healthy development.
It is precisely because of the great success of hiring David Stern that the NBA has formed a very institutional system of president responsibility.
Although the NBA board of directors is the highest authority, it is not responsible for the operation of the NBA, and is almost only responsible for appointing the president or vice president of the NBA.
The real power and ultimate direction of the NBA is almost all about the president, and the president has absolute power.
When David Stern's interests were aligned with the various owners of the NBA, David Stern was completely a tyrant of the NBA, and no one could stop David Stern from pursuing any policies.
However, in the last few years of David Stern, or in the past three years, after Adam Shaw became the favored candidate of most bosses, David Stern clearly felt that his power had been greatly constrained.
Even if the NBA Finals have been so angry and resentful in the past two years, David Stern still can't move Adam Shaw.
Because the NBA's income is still increasing dramatically every year, and it is the growth point brought by Adam Shaw.
The league's income has increased, not only the owners of the teams make money, but also the players.
The league makes money, no matter what means it uses, the bosses, the players, the people involved, in fact, everyone is a monetary beneficiary.
As for the NBA, as a basketball league, it also needs to take care of the interests of basketball and fans, which is not so important.
As long as the owners and players are making money, not many people will care about the fans and the basketball.
So, after seeing such a reality, David Stern really chose to leave at that time, not to retire, but to leave, he never thought about retirement, but to leave the NBA, which has been completely contrary to his basketball philosophy.
It's just that Du Kang's appearance gave him hope.
And now, Du Kang's spark has finally ignited in the entire NBA!
Adam Shaw used money to kidnap almost the entire alliance.
Players, bosses, who doesn't want to make more money?
This kind of atmosphere has begun to spread wildly at that time, and it has been unstoppable.
Coach D is in such a utilitarian atmosphere, and he has fought his way out of the NBA!
Coach D represents the interests of fans and basketball.
Eventually, he changed the Lakers, and the Lakers were respected by the entire NBA, and most of the NBA teams, the players, are now proud of Coach D and the Lakers, ashamed of James and the Heat of the year, as well as extreme business.
Coach D reused Kobe, the Big Five, Olajuwon, and even Jordan and Yao Ming to bring the NBA's competitive atmosphere and the true meaning of basketball back to the NBA.
It is precisely because Coach D succeeded with this group of veterans who had brought everything to the NBA, that the world of the NBA is slowly changing, and finally causing qualitative changes, and finally it has been recognized by opponents like Magical Monty.
And this game also made the owners of the NBA discover that the times of the NBA have changed.
As long as the NBA players are also on the side of the boss, then the boss doesn't have to look at anyone's face at all.
Throughout the NBA, it's not the league president who can restrain the owner, it's the players.
In the NBA, when collective bargaining is not agreed, the league shuts down.
No boss wants the league to shut down.
Of course, no player wants the league to shut down.
That is the basis on which the two sides can always reach an agreement in the end.
And now, the player is firmly standing behind David Stern, choosing to maintain the competitive value of basketball, rather than creating so-called wonderful games without a bottom line to achieve commercial success.
Now, driven by Coach D and Fantastic Monty, the Lakers players, Celtics players, all the players are standing together, plus there is the support of the fans, these owners of the NBA must be scared when they see this scene.
The players, the fans, the celebrities, David Stern, all stand together, you know what that means?
This means that David Stern can start a new business and run another NBA without their bosses!
It's no joke.
David Stern has such energy.
As long as David Stern decides to do this, I don't know how many owners are willing to pay liquidated damages for those big-name stars in the NBA, form a new team, a new league.
With the addition of Coach D, Fantastic Monty and the Celtics, and the Lakers, this new basketball league will quickly replace the old NBA league.
Just like most of the broadcast fees in La Liga went to Real Madrid and Barcelona.
The NBA isn't that extreme, though.
However, most of the commercial value of the NBA lies in the four teams of the Lakers, Celtics, Knicks and Bulls.
So, in the NBA, anything the Celtics and Lakers agree on, there's almost nothing that can stop it.
Now, it's clear that the Celtics and Lakers have come to an agreement.
So, now, these owners who support Adam Shaw, their opponents, not only NBA players, fans, David Stern, but also the Lakers and Celtics!
This is already a crushing game.
Therefore, when the Lakers and the Celtics played such a game so tacitly on the court, as smart as Adam Shaw, of course, he knew that his gas was exhausted.
Now, there is no one who can stop David Stern from returning to power.
"Today's interim board of directors, the first resolution, to remove the first vice president of the alliance, Adam Xiao Hua, who is in favor and who is against?"
In the makeshift conference room in Staples, the boss and the boss representative on the scene, the boss and the boss representative in the video, after a little silence, in the end, no one stood up against it.
One, two, three, four, and eventually, thirty team owners and representatives voted in favor.
Seeing this scene, David Stern's face was expressionless, but in his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, Adam, the man who was picked up by him and who wanted to destroy his ideals with one hand, was finally taken down by him.
No one knows better than him how difficult this can be.
"Thank you, Coach D......"
David Stern closed his eyes, thanked Du Kang in his heart, opened his eyes again, and looked at the bald head Adam Xiaohua next to him.
"Adam, now that you're not the NBA's first vice president, what's going on is none of your business."
Adam Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, and finally stood up decently and walked out of the conference room.
It's just that when he was about to walk out of the meeting, he opened the door and looked at the group of people outside the door, Adam Xiaohua was still stunned.
"Mr. Xiao Hua, we are FB1, someone reported that the NBA was suspected of match-fixing and manipulating the D set, and there are some things that require your cooperation in the investigation."
Adam Shaw turned his head in shock and looked at David Stern, but at this time, David Stern did not look at Adam Shaw at all.
Adam Shaw was taken away.
David Stern still feels very sad.
If he could, he didn't really want to.
"The second resolution of the interim board of directors, which is the seventh game of the finals tonight, I suggest that the game continue, the previous games are all counted, this is the result of the players on both sides, the coach, this is also a great game that can go down in the history of the NBA, I hope this great game can be an NBA eternity, but Rick Fords' refereeing team is no longer suitable to enforce this game, who is for and who is against?"
If the removal of Adam Shaw still makes some people reluctant, but no one among the thirty bosses and representatives has any hesitation to take out this guy Fortes.
This guy has made them so angry, and he is much more hateful than Adam Xiao Hua.
"The third decision, in order to get the game on track faster, I propose that Joey Crawford be the referee in the final moments of the tie-break in the finals."
Bald Crawford, this is David Stern's favorite general.
Somewhat similar to the relationship between Foster and Xiao Hua.
This is not actually what David Stern had long predicted.
Rather, the bald Crawford has been the backup referee for the finals.
David Stern actually made a decision a long time ago.
If this is not the case, then he will use his authority as president to finally forcibly take Foster away, and then Crawford will replace him.
Before the negative game between the Lakers and the Celtics, he actually had this idea after Foster made a move.
If he does this, he will definitely be fired by the board of directors of the NBA in the end, but since he is not ready to stay in the NBA anyway, is there any difference between being fired without dignity and leaving with dignity himself?
There is no difference.
Even, for him, it is perhaps more enjoyable to be detrimental to his own philosophy, to the two great managers of Coach D and the magic Monty.
It's just that in the end, what he didn't expect was that he didn't succeed in committing suicide, but instead completed the Jedi counterattack.
David Stern dropped the alternate referee bald Clifford and still got a unanimous vote.
The scene of the game in Staples.
At this point, the game of the fourth quarter was over.
At this point, the score on the court was still 90-90, and the two teams played a 0-0 game in the fourth quarter.
"This game that allows us to witness history is still letting us witness the !! of history"
"And it's such an unbelievable history!"
It was a 0-0 game, and it was a 0-0 game in that way.
Such a game not only did not disgust the audience, fans, celebrities and the media, but even received applause from everyone in the audience.
"The Celtics and Lakers players on the court, with a 0-0 in a quarter like this, fulfilled their commitment and justice, and all the Lakers players who appeared on the court in the last 12 minutes, the Celtics players, are great players!"
"Now, maybe we're going to witness a great 0-0 extra time!"
O'Neill was shouting excitedly.
All the audience at the scene were still shouting enthusiastically.
And the audience in front of the TV, their enthusiasm has not been reduced by such a game.
They are even more enthusiastic about the next game.
Overtime was about to begin, and just when everyone thought Foster would continue to enforce the law......
The bald Clifford, perhaps the NBA's most recognizable head referee, showed up with his refereeing team.
For a moment, the whole Staples was in an uproar.
And the bald Clifford, who was the focus of the world, walked to the sidelines with a blank face and looked at Foster on the field.
"Rick, according to the decision of the NBA Board of Directors, you are no longer the referee of this game, take your referee staff and leave the court."
Foster was stunned for a moment, and finally, looking at the majestic bald Crawford, nodded.
"Joey, I didn't expect you to be the one who sent me away."
Looking at the bitter smile on Foster's face, Crawford was also saddened.
Because, the first 'whistle' in the NBA in front of him is his apprentice.
For many Kaizi fans, the bald Crawford is a black Kai, in fact, it is not Crawford who specializes in black Kaizi, but David Stern has been suppressing Kaizi.
Similarly, for many Spurs fans, this dead bald head loves to play Spurs, but in fact, it is not Crawford who loves Spurs, that is because the league and David Stern have always disliked Spurs basketball.
Crawford and Foster, the master and apprentice, are really in the same vein.
It's all in the service of the alliance and the president.
It's just that......
Compared to Joey Crawford's emeritus, Foster is just crazy.
Although the bald Crawford also carries out the will of the alliance and the president, there are not many people who hate him.
In the latest league of the league's least liked referees, Foster topped the list with 24 votes in a poll of the league's 30 head coaches and assistant coaches.
And the bald Crawford is the number one in the rankings.
Even, the reason for these head coaches or assistant coaches to vote is that the bald Crawford is very fair.
"His scale will not be frightened by the fans of the home team, nor will it change because of the pressure of the superstar, when he is on the pitch, everything is controlled by him, he will never treat the two teams differently, his blowing scale is just, fair, uniform, this is the most important thing."
You can say that you are bald, but you can't question the fairness and impartiality of a bald head, and fairness and impartiality are the most important qualities of a referee.
The powerful black whistle will do the most damage to the game.
The referee gives you a scale, and although the scale is in favor of a certain team, everyone is fair, you can adapt slowly, and everyone has a chance.
Let's talk about Duncan, if you want to do Duncan, don't do that, the whole world thinks that I, David Stern, are targeting the Spurs.
I'm really targeting Spurs, but it's decent.
So after getting Duncan, the most angry person was not the Spurs fans, but David Stern, who was angry, and the angry David Stern directly scolded himself for being a fool and roasting my great NBA president on the fire.
According to the bald head's brain circuit, if someone else smiles at him like Duncan does, he'll tell the guy to get out of here.
Who made Duncan's smile so meaningful, it is indeed easy to misunderstand.
Therefore, although many people say that Kaizi and Spurs fans are bald and dizzy, not many people say that bald heads are black whistles.
Even a certain person, who is the biggest victim, has a very good relationship with Crawford in private, and thinks this somewhat dim and persistent old man is quite cute.
It is also interesting that a pair of mentors and apprentices who also serve others receive such a big difference in evaluation.
"Rick ......"
Foster turned his back to Crawford and stopped.
"I've never taught you to obey anyone, you're an NBA referee, you're a basketball referee, you can't just have the NBA's interests in mind, you also have the interests of basketball and respect for the game."
After listening, Foster smiled bitterly again.
Teacher, it's late.
Once I got on that boat, I had no other choice.
"Mr. Foster, someone has reported that you are suspected of manipulating the game and manipulating the D game, please come with us to be investigated."
Before he could get out of the field, Foster was taken away.
The whole world has seen this scene.
"Oh my God, Foster was taken away for the eighth time!!!"
"This time, it's definitely different, this time, there is no one to protect him!!"
Seeing Foster being taken away, the fans of both teams at the scene were excited.
And the most excited are undoubtedly the Cavaliers fans.
Soon, news and pictures of Foster and Adam Shaw being taken away at the same time spread on the Internet.
It's been three years!
It's been three years since the NBA got dark!!
Right now!
"It's dawn!!"
"It's finally dawning in the NBA!!"
"Thank you Coach D for clearing the NBA for setting the curtain on us !!"
In Staples, after Foster was taken away, the whole audience was chanting Coach D's name.
Even Celtics fans are like that.
The whole world knows who corrected the atmosphere in the NBA!
James looked at such cheers and applause, gritted his teeth, and his heart was bleeding painfully, he knew that his time did not exist, and the NBA version was completely updated.
And the Celtics head coach next to him, Magical Monty, took the Celtic players and the audience on the spot, and the celebrities applauded together.
"In the rolling torrent, being able to become a retrograde is already great, if you can turn this rolling torrent on your own, then this is a legend!"
"Coach D is our legend!"
Now, we can finally defeat this greatest legend with dignity!
